Regatta Yachttimers
An overview of sailing regatta watches.
The Seiko company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop in Tokyo. Eleven years later, in 1892, he founded the company Seikosha Co, where initially wall clocks were produced. Soon they were followed by pocket watches and watches with an alarm function. In 1913 Seiko (which means ‘precision’ in Japanese) manufactured its first wristwatch, and today the brand is well known for its inventions over the years.
Already in 1958 Seiko started with the developement of quartz movements, which let to the first commercial quartz wristwatch of the world in 1969, the Seiko Quartz Astron. The brand’s tradition in sports timing started at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, where they served as Official Timekeeper. Ever since Seiko has been involved in many sports events, eg athletics, football and sailing.
Early 1980’s Seiko developed the caliber 7A28, the world’s first analog quartz chronograph. This fully adjustable quartz movement has no plastic parts in the gear train and can be sericed and adjusted like a mechanical watch. In the years to follow the caliber 7A28 was used in a great number of different models. The 7A28-7020, for example, was worn by Roger Moore in the 1985 James Bond movie ‘A View To A Kill’.
Seiko Yacht Timer Quartz 7A28-7090, ref. SAY080.
The 7A28-7090 regatta variant debuted in 1982 as the first real Seiko Yacht Timer, and appeared in catalogs as of 1983. It immediately stood out for its design. With the two big pushers at 10 and 2 o’clock it looked similar to a bullhead chronograph. The 9 o’clock minutes sub register features a 30-minutes counter, devided in 6 x 5 minutes in alternately light and royal blue, and a distinct yellow hand. On the outer ring of the dial there’s the yachting countdown scale for the seconds, running backwards from 60 to zero. After 1985 the Seiko Yacht Timer Quartz 7A28-7090 disappeared from the catalogs and the production ceased.

Second half of the 1980’s Seiko developed a new four jewel quartz chronograph, the caliber 8M. Besides setting the time, it also uses the crown as a selection tool by which you can choose the mode of the watch, as shown in one of the registers. It has a countdown (timer) function, what makes it highly suitable for a yachting watch. In timer-mode the movement runs actualy counterclockwise! The countdown timer can be set by one-minute intervals between 1and 30 minutes, or you can choose between one of the preset timers for 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
From early 1990 Seiko produced two series of yacht timer watches, the 8M35 and the 8M37 models . Compared to the 8M35 models, the 8M37 models have the movement mounted ‘up-side-down’. That automatically means the crown and pushers are placed on opposite sides.
Cal. 8M35-6000 with leather strap, two-tone case and bracelet (ref. SEQ008J) and full gold (ref. SEQ010J). Note the three different collorscemes of the inner compass.
In time-mode, when the watch shows the actual time, the hour hand seems a bit odd. More like a seconds hand actually. But when you switch to timer mode, you understand why. This hand then becomes the second hand for an accurate countdown. And as I said before, the movement runs counterclockwise in timer mode. In a short period of years, from 1990 upto 1993, several yachttimer models were released by Seiko.
Cal. 8M35-6010, the more rare silver version, cal. 8M35-8000/8009 (ref. SEQ001P) and 8M35-800A (ref. SEQ003P) with a plastic blue or black turnable bezel.
Both cal. 8M37-6000, either with a silver case and dial (ref. SBBH005) or with a black case and dial (ref. SBBH007). Originally with a black rubber strap.
Both cal. 8M37-7000, ref. SBBH009. Note the different selection tools.
Finally the cal. 6M37-8000, ref. SBBH013, and the 6M37-8019, ref. SGX006. The last one was released for the 1992 USA Olympic games.

Yema America’s Cup, with a Seiko 8M35 movement, white or black dial. More info in the Yema section.
In 1993 Seiko changed the design of their Yacht Timers radically. Again the brand developed a new quartz regatta movement, the caliber 6M37, this time inspired by the old mechanical movements that used the 5-dot countdown system (first used by Aquastar in the 1960’s ).
The first model that was released, is the cal. 6M37-6000.
1995 Seiko introduced the Yacht Timer Sports 200 models, as part of The Great Blue series. Inspired by the older mechanical movements, Seiko developed their quartz movement with the 5-dot countdown system, caliber 6M37-6010.

At Baselworld 2007, Seiko launched a new marine collection, the Velatura. The collection included two new calibers, one of them the Yachting Timer caliber 7T84. Obviously Seiko stepped away from the 5-dot countdown system again.

With the launch of the Velatura series in 2007, Seiko rose to the challenge to build watches that perform on the open ocean, with a collection characterized by robustness, high functionality and durability. Also in 2007, Seiko was selected as the Watch Partner of the International 49er Class Association.
To mark the fourth year of their partnership, Seiko launced a new model in the Velatura collection, a standard chronograph housing with the caliber 7T62 Alarm movement. Not with a special countdown function, but with a coloured 5-10-15 minutes subdial.
The watch is available with either a stainless steel case with black hard coating and a polyurethane strap (ref. SNAE17) or a stainless steel case with blue hard coating and a stainless steel bracelet with three-fold slasp (ref. SNAE19).

Looking for a replacement for its 7A28 Yacht Timer, Seiko turned its attention to creating a far more focused set of regatta timers. Whereas the first Yacht Timer was little more than a 7A28 with the correct color scheme, the Seiko 8M35 Yacht Timer – like the 1999 Seiko 8M35-8000 here, with its original stainless-steel bracelet – was created to time races. In fact, the 8M35 is superior to the elusive 7A28 in every manner when used for regatta racing, and was purpose-built piece for sailors.
In sailing, the purpose of the watch is all about the countdown and ensuring one guides the boat at speed to the start line at exactly the right time. Thus, this timing function is key. Unlike the 7A28, which felt a bit more mechanical in operation with traditional pushers and time setting crown, the 8M35 uses its crown more as a selection tool to move between watch complications.
Yacht racing requires a countdown period before the start of a race to help keep the boats as fairly placed as possible. Before the start of a sailboat race, there are two guns, the first gun signals that the race will start in either five, 10, or 15 minutes (depending on the type of race sailed).
At the five minute mark, a gun is sounded and the sailors start their countdown functions and maneuver their sailboats as close to the start line as possible. Once the end of the five minute blue period is reached, the race has begun.
Instructions: In its normal position, the crown can be moved forward or backward and this changes the mode of the watch. The mode is shown in the lower register and is highlighted by a black triangular hand that outlines the pie-shaped mode indicator.
In time mode, setting the time is done by pulling the crown out one stop and then using the two pushers to change the hour and minute hands. Setting 15/10/5 modes moves the needle-like hand to the appropriate countdown area on the upper track. Then, the upper pusher stops and starts the timer and the lower resets. The general timer allows for a countdown function of up to 30 minutes and the “Match 0” function allows both hands to be reset to 12:00. This Yacht Timer comes on its original bracelet, and with nylon strap, rugged travel case, and springbar tool. The watch functions are set in an atypical manner, and a PDF of the instructions can be found, here .
1999 Seiko 8M35-8000 Yacht Timer, w/Original Bracelet
DIAL: The 8M35’s dial combines the typical yachting timer colors of red and blue – naturally, everything is highly legible. Note the slightly blue shade of the index surround at the five minute countdown marker (otherwise, known as 11:00). At first glance, this appears to the casual observer to be dial damage, but it’s on every dial, and strongly appears to be intentional – a visual cue for the wearer.
CASE: Stainless-steel case measures 39.5mm x 46mm. The case features a rather tough-looking plastic and metal rotating on the 60 minute bezel – this renders a watch that looks like it could stand up to the typical knock around that likely occurs on a boat. At a mere 10.5mm, this is a thin watch!
CRYSTAL: Slightly domed hardlex crystal, scratch-free.
BAND: Original stainless-steel Seiko-signed bracelet – bracelet is in great condition, but it is missing one of the blue accents (not highly noticeable); this watch also comes with a premium blue and red nylon strap.
MOVEMENT: 8M35 four jewel quartz movement, manufactured in February 1999.
CROWN: Unsigned stainless-steel crown.

Why We Love it
Sure, we’re mostly about mechanical watches here at Analog:Shift. But certain quartz-powered timepieces are simply too cool to ignore — especially when you come across colorful examples produced by Japanese powerhouse, Seiko, during the 1990s.
This 1990s Seiko Yacht Timer features the brand’s nifty Calibre 8M37 quartz movement — one of their first quartz movements equipped with a countdown system. At a glance this Seiko presents as an analog timepiece, but in hand it feels much more like a digital watch without the distraction of an LED display. Let us explain.
A Seiko Reference 8M-037-6000, this piece features a 35mm stainless steel case with a steel friction compass bezel, a crown at 9 o’clock and barrel pushers flanked along the right side. Although simple at a glance, the dial offers a range of function options including a function indicator located at 12 o’clock, a tri-color timing scale bordering the dial’s bottom half and a skeletonized handset.
The ‘digital’ qualities reside within its suite of timing functions and the smooth sweep of the handset while moving through each setting. This Yacht Timer comes with three separate pre-set timers that can be started from 5, 10 or 15 minutes. The free-set timer can be set to 1-minute intervals up to 30 minutes and lastly, its repeat function allows for the timer to count down again when the set time is up.
Oh by the way, this Seiko can also tell the time.
Paired to our new Analog:Shift Citrus Orange Vegan Strap, this Seiko Yacht Timer is unique, vibrant and loads of fun - plus, you know we always love a colorful regatta timing watch!

SEIKO Velatura Collection 2007 – Kinetic Direct Drive and Yachting Timer
Since its introduction in 2007, Velatura, the new marine collection by SEIKO has found favor among the world’s sailing and marine community with its distinctive design and its high functionality. The 2007 collection included two new calibers, the Yachting Timer and Kinetic Direct Drive. SEIKO Velatura is a collection of eleven high performance marine watches for men and women, each of which combines innovation of function with refinement in design. The Velatura collection 2007 is comprised of 11 models, with 4 calibers, 2 of which are new and designed expressly for Velatura.
Since the creation in 1965 of its first diving watch, SEIKO has many times accepted the greatest challenge to the watchmaker’s skill – the challenge of building watches that can withstand the demands of ocean life.
In 1975, SEIKO made the first diver’s watch in the world to have a titanium case and to be suited to saturation diving to 600m. Velatura continues a several decade tradition of watches built to take the strain of life on the high sea.
SEIKO Velatura Kinetic Direct Drive
Professional and recreational sailors alike require one thing above all else in their choice of watch: reliability. They have to be able to trust their watch to perform, year in and year out, without fear of it winding down or of battery drain.
For the most demanding watch users on the high seas, Kinetic Direct Drive is the ultimate technology of trust. Wear it and it maintains perfect time. It is recharged by the wearer’s motion, but Kinetic Direct Drive can also be wound by hand.
When winding the crown, the wearer can see the precise amount of energy generated on the Direct Drive indicator. Leave it for a few days and you can wind it to see the power being transmitted to the watch in real time – the perfect re-assurance that the watch is both operational and adequately charged.
Kinetic Direct Drive is an expression of SEIKO’s emotional technology. It is built to allow maximum interaction with the wearer. It takes its energy from its wearer and allows him or her to relate in real time to its functions.

SEIKO Velatura Yachting Timer
Sailing a 49er or any other racing yacht is a precision skill in which every wave, every gust of wind and every second is a vital opportunity to gain speed and time. And nowhere is this more important than at the start of a race. The SEIKO Yachting Timer is the instrument the racing sailor needs to hit the mark at the exact second of the start.
Designed in consultation with top sailors from around the globe, it has a pre-race timer that sounds at 10, 6 or 5 minutes before the race start.
These intervals are clearly shown on the brightly colored dial and the center hand that counts down the minutes and seconds is large, bright red and legible. After the race start, the chronograph takes over automatically and records the elapsed race time.
Caliber Yachting Timer, Caliber 7T84 Hour and minute hands, small second hand, calendar, Mode selector hand Pre-set countdown timer (10/6/5 minutes) Free-set countdown timer Minute/second timer hand(center) Two hands at 6 o’clock position’s functions Minute/Second timer hand Chronograph hands (hour and minute) Hour/Minute alarm hands (hour and minute) Local time hands (hour and minute) Daily alarm

Seiko Yacht Timer

For sale is my 1990 Seiko Yacht Timer, I bought this watch new in September of 1990 and probably wore it less than ten times. When the original battery went bad I put the watch back in the original box and stored it til last year (I honestly forgot I had it), I had the cell replaced and it has been stored since that time. Watch works perfectly with very, very little signs of use, I would say this watch is an easy 97 out of 100. Asking $350.00 shipped.

Seiko Dives Down Deep with Two New Prospex Marinemasters
Seiko’s first diver’s watch, launched in 1965, shows that a successful design can literally make waves. Water-resistant to what was then a very respectable 150 meters and focused entirely on functionality, the 62MAS also went down in history as Japan’s first diver’s watch. Since then, its large dial with prominent rectangular markers and grooved bezel have served as the model for some of Seiko’s new editions of divers’ watches.
These include the Prospex Marinemaster 1965 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation , launched in 2023, which is being released in two new color variants at the height of summer. The SJE117J1 model has a light turquoise dial framed by a high-gloss black bezel, while the SJE119J1 comes with a navy blue dial. The color of the aluminum bezel is reminiscent of a highly polished dark lapis lazuli. Both combinations give the dials a velvety sheen and beautifully accentuate their horizontal structure, reminiscent of the movement of waves. Unlike the 62MAS, the date window is no longer located at three o’clock, but discreetly between 4 and 5 o’clock.
Thanks to the automatic caliber 6L37, the Prospex Marinemaster 1965 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation is Seiko’s thinnest diver’s watch. With a diameter of 39mm and a height of 12.3mm, it is water-resistant to 200 meters. The polished and brushed stainless steel case, which is antimagnetic up to 4,800 A/m, has a transparent case back and is mounted on a multi-link metal bracelet with safety clasp and diver’s extension.
The Seiko SJE117J1 and SJE119J1 divers will be available from July 2024 and retail for $2,800.
To learn more, visit Seiko, here .
I have worn Seiko watches and their divers watches since 1973 and still wear mine on a Saturday night and I am 66 tears of age. But sadly can not afford to buy one of their new Prospex divers watches. Maybe, possible in another lifetime. I will just have to look after the watch I have. Seiko are the lifetime of watches.
yeah but do they keep time, and can’t seiko figure out how to make a chronometer. this watch is pleasing to the eyes but if it doesn’t keep time for me it is WORTHLESS!!!
